Chapter 395 The study abroad plan for the starfish shipbuilders!
The Alien Strategy Committee has tasks they are responsible for, and for the Navy Headquarters, the most important thing at hand is the plan to replace the warships.
So after Sengoku returned from Demon Slayer World, he often called the Industrial Department of the Government Affairs Council.
Mainly asking when construction of those battleships can begin.
But every time I got a reply, it was still being prepared, and I needed to wait, and wait, and there was no rush. This made Warring States helpless, and he called Wulaoxing again.
I want to ask if we can send a batch of battleships from Demon Slayer World for use first?
Although the star gate is small.
But didn’t the flying warships from before also be sent in? This shows that the world government must have some means!
But Wulaoxing didn't dare to agree to him directly, he just said that he would think about it.
Then he turned to Lord Im and asked for permission to ask Stussy to send in a few warships to the Navy Headquarters?
But the reply I got was that the Navy does not have an urgent need to replace warships now, and it is better to wait until the home-made warships come out!
Im will not be used to the navy.
Stussy was sent to deliver three flying warships before because they were really needed.
Therefore, Warring States naturally got nothing and could only wait eagerly for news from the Department of Industry.
But little did he know that the Industrial Department is also very busy right now, especially the Ship Department, which is responsible for managing major shipyards.
As mentioned before, the Seven Waters Capital is mainly responsible for manufacturing the ‘War Behemoth’ class naval warships, which are the largest warships specifically used to execute the Demon-Slaying Order.
Most of the various types of naval warships are actually handled by shipyards directly under the World Government.
But the problem is.
These shipyards have been building wooden ships for eight to nine hundred years. Now that they are building large iron ships all of a sudden, they must first completely transform the shipyards.
This first step consumes a lot of time and manpower.
Next, there must be various large-scale shipbuilding equipment. The first is the steel-making furnace technology that can meet the demand. This is the most basic.
Then there are large forging presses, cranes, etc.
This is actually not bad, after all, there are many ready-made ones in Demon Slayer Sekai, so you can just dismantle them, ship them in and combine them again.
The most important thing is people!
The original shipwrights were completely useless. They had no experience in building battleships at all.
Although they can learn it, how can the world government have time to wait for them to learn it?
We can only bring in talented people who can build ships from Demon Slayer World!
This is again a very tedious and time-consuming process…
Actually there is another way.
That is to directly produce new battleship designs based on the needs of the Navy Headquarters, and then hand them over to the major shipyards in Demon Slayer World for manufacturing, and then send them in after they are completed.
After all, people in Starfish World have very different heights and physiques, so the size and internal space of this warship must be expanded accordingly.
But in this case, if you don't upgrade the star gate, you will have to work hard for Stussy...
Another reason why Im refused to upgrade the Demon Slayer Gate is that the era of the Demon Slayer World was on the eve of World War I.
But what if World War II appears in the next world or the world after that, or a world with a modern background?
There must have been better warships at that time, even a complete nuclear-powered aircraft carrier or something.
certainly.
This warship technology must be getting better and better, and waiting for the next better one will definitely be endless.
But as a traveler from the modern world.
As for the basic requirements for warships, I still like to use modern warships as the standard.
Therefore, Im’s current idea is to first let the local shipwrights in Haixing become familiar with Demon Slayer’s ‘battleship’ manufacturing process, but do not rush to start construction locally.
After the "World War II" or "Modern" world is opened, you can then seamlessly come into contact with the warship craftsmanship of these higher eras.
The transition from building wooden ships to building battleships must be extremely painful, but from building battleships to building modern warships, I think it will be much easier.
At that time, we will comprehensively renovate the local shipyards!
In this way, the ideas are filtered out. There is no need to introduce a large number of Demon Slayer shipbuilding talents. It is only necessary to introduce some masters in shipbuilding to teach local shipwrights.
Or let local shipwrights go to Demon Slayer World to ‘study abroad’!
soon.
Im's will is conveyed to the world government through the Five Old Stars, and its influence can be said to be throughout the entire starfish world.
Although he basically doesn't care about things, if he really interferes, it will affect all aspects of people around the world.
In the final analysis.
The rudder of the giant ship of world government is still in his hands.
Naturally, the person who has been most impacted by Demon Slayer's battleship craftsmanship is the City of Seven Waters, which is known as having the best and most shipbuilders in the world!
at this time.
Dr. Boyle from Fishman Island is leading many fishman craftsmen to invest in the project of building a large gas storage.
certainly.
The biggest change is the appearance of forty Arqi mangroves on the island, making the water city seem to be standing with giant green umbrellas.
This directly leads to residents being able to use various bubble tools, such as bubble bikes and so on.
[Dong dong dong]
"Come in."
"Your Excellency Jerome, are you looking for us?"
I saw the extremely tall fishman Tom and Mayor Manan, who had a complexion as yellow as rubber, walking into the base director's office of the sea train research and development base with Bingshan and Frame behind them.
"Yes, please sit down."
Jerome, who is currently the deputy director of the Maritime Affairs Department, pointed with his palm to the large wide chair in front of him.
"Thank you."
Mr. Tom happily let Mayor Manan choose his seat, and then walked to another chair to sit down.
Bingshan and Frame stood on both sides, the former serious, while the latter shook his head and looked at the various decorations in the office.
"I invite you all to come here this time because there is something related to the fate of the Water City. I want to talk to the four of you first."
Deputy Director Jerome said as he took out four thick document bags from the drawer.
"Bingshan and Frame also want to participate?" Mr. Tom asked doubtfully.
"Of course, one of them is a talent recognized by the Administration Department, and the other is a researcher appointed by the Academy of Sciences. It is okay to have access to this information."
"Let's take a look at it first, and you'll understand it after reading it."
Deputy Director Jerome showed a meaningful smile.
"Okay, please wait."
Mayor Manan nodded, then opened the document bag, took out the documents inside and started reading. Tom, Bingshan and Frame on the side also followed suit.
Just looking at them, the expressions of the four people changed almost in unison.
From surprise, shock, to disbelief, the stunned expression made Deputy Director Jerome opposite him very satisfied.
"Now that I've finished reading it, I'll say it."
"First of all, Mayor Manan, you will decide whether the Water City is willing to accept reforms and gradually transform from wooden ship craftsmanship to iron ship craftsmanship."
Deputy Director Jerome said straight to the point,
"You should be able to feel that wooden boats will definitely be eliminated in the future. If the Water City does not change, then..."
Mayor Ma Nan nodded with difficulty. At this moment, his heavy heart could no longer take into account his shock at the Star Gate and the other world.
"So our Maritime Affairs Department hopes that the major shipyards in the Water City will suspend operations for a year, so that outstanding shipwrights, including Bingshan and Fram, can go to the Demon Slayer Special Zone No. 2 to learn shipbuilding technology."
"During this period, the World Government will ensure the daily life of the residents of the Seven Waters Capital."
Deputy Director Jerome spoke in a very sincere tone, and what he said could make people feel the sincerity of the government. At this time, Mr. Tom said.
"What about me, should I go too?"
"Would you like to go?"
Mr. Tom nodded and laughed boldly: "Hahahaha, of course I am interested in the shipbuilding technology of other worlds!"
“But what about the research and development of sea trains?”
